How big was the gap in what was actually being reflected to what Canada wanted in the deal?

Well, there was a huge gap, allegedly, if we're to believe the Prime Minister.

Uh, I mean, he agreed to certain things on autos, for example, um- We were supposed to get a deal on some of the tariffs that were levied on us, and we were supposed to slash some of those rates in half.

We were supposed to have some special arrangements for the vehicles that are coming out of this country, and that language wasn't reflected in the final text.

He also was trying to limit what exactly Canada could do in terms of s- signing trade deals of our own with other countries, which is just such an affront to our sovereignty.

He also was trying to, um, limit the use of French language in our country.

He was concerned about Canadian culture, and there was things in there that Trump was trying to take from us that was just essentially a non-starter.

So how does Canada's decision affect other middle powers like Australia? Does it bring Canada closer to Australia?
